    Supposed to be Strawberry Pancakes but there were NO Strawberries inside only on the side.
    Rashika H.

    Recently ordered takeout and tried their largely talked about Apple Pancake. It was SEVERELY UNDERWHELMING in appearance and half burnt , but somehow still tasted very good. I just can't get past what I ordered and seen others partake in versus what I got. The a la carte eggs and bacon were also very good. Eggs cooked as ordered and bacon was thick sliced and well done NOT burnt. Also ordered Strawberry Pancakes and there were NO Strawberries inside, they were plain and provided a side of strawberries to use as a topping which is not what I ordered. I'd go back but they definitely owe me an Apple Pancake and Strawberry Pancakes done correctly on the house.

    I had a nice first experience! We went at 11 on Sunday morning, and our table of 6 did not have to wait to be seated (they also have an online waitlist you can join!) I ordered scrambled eggs with cheddar, a side of bacon and rye toast, and a side (3) blueberry pancakes. The hot chocolate with a free refill for $3.40 was delicious on a cold snowy morning!They serve real maple syrup which I appreciate!! Everyone enjoyed their good, and our server Samantha was fantastic. The eggs and bacon were cold by the time they came out, but no complaints about anything else! I want to go back to try another one of their many pancake varieties

    Pancakes ordered with extra chocolate chips...
    Taylor S.

    The pancakes are delicious here! Unfortunately, we ordered our pancakes with extra chocolate chips (which somehow costs $1.80...) and were surprised to find barely any on the pancakes. Turns out they put them in a separate container, which meant the chocolate chips were not melted on the pancakes at all. This is the only time that has happened when I've ordered extra chocolate chips on my pancakes anywhere and seems very counterintuitive. The breakfast potatoes are yummy though! Unfortunately, ordering takeout here is very complicated. The online ordering site has glitches (for example, if you select no onions for the breakfast potatoes, it shows up as "onions" on the order summary and arrives with onions). To make it worse, there's no way to speak to a human being at the restaurant on the phone, so you have to physically go there to order and wait for your food there. Very frustrating. If you're not going to allow people to call your restaurant directly, the online ordering should be seamless, and it's not. It also doesn't allow for written customizations. They also consistently seem understaffed. Good food but just so complicated to order it for takeout sadly

    Chocolate Chip Pancake
    Danielle P.

    Went on a Saturday at like 10am only a 15 minute wait. I got chocolate chip pancakes, there was not chocolate inside the pancake, they were only a topping. At the other location they are inside, so that was a disappointment. The person I was with also got a coffee and never got a refill. Overall the food was fine, we just prefer the other locations.

    Omelette
    Becky C.

    Went for breakfast. I was so glad to be able to join the waitlist online in advance. We were seated promptly once our table was ready. I opted for a coffee but a lot of people were drinking orange juice, it looked really good. I ordered the veggie omelette and upgraded my pancakes to strawberry. The pancakes were perfect. My omelette was good too! Our server was really nice and had very cute tattoos.

    Stopped in for a late breakfast/early lunch. That's the great thing about all day breakfast spots, it doesn't matter what time you're there, breakfast is always a good choice. When we walked in, it was a little busy but a lot of people were heading out. We sat down at our table and got water and menus. I ordered an orange juice which was delicious and tasted fresh squeezed. We gave our order and waited for our food. My friend ordered himself an omelet with pancakes while I ordered two eggs, sausage, and pancakes. We waited a pretty good amount before our food came out. We both blamed the omelet for taking too long jokingly but still didn't think it would be as long as it was. The food was delicious. The buttermilk pancakes were incredible and tasted so much better than any pancakes I have had lately. I love the vibes here too. It has that classic diner feel but just a bit elevated enough to make it feel modern. The staff and servers were great. We will definitely be back.

    Eggs and bacon
    Savannah B.

    Came in for a super quick breakfast after Record Store Day, and we had a nice time! We came in on a super busy morning and were excited to be seated pretty quickly for how busy it was inside. Our server was super nice and attentive to our table as well as answering questions about the menu and rewards program as it was our first time there. The ambiance was defiantly lively and not a quiet breakfast experience so keep that in mind if that's what you are looking for! We didn't mind and thought it was a fun atmosphere. The food here I do have to say was expensive for breakfast food, check the menu photos for prices, and it was all pretty good. I got the bacon and eggs with three buttermilk pancakes. The pancakes were fabulous! So golden and buttery, but the eggs and bacon were more standard fare. For $15 I would've hoped for better.

    We walked in at 10 o'clock on a Sunday morning and we're seated right away surprisingly. Even though the restaurant was full, people kept moving in and out. We ordered a cinnamon apple pancake with sides of potatoes and bacon, and I was go by the size of the pancake (which is really a Dutch baby). The cinnamon, apple pancakes were delicious, as was the baking. Our server was pleasant and attentive. Everyone was dressed in Bill scare appropriately. The place was busy, and it was a little loud, but nothing unusual for a boisterous pregame crowd. I highly recommend this place if you're looking for a great brunch in Williamsville.

    This is a sausage + egg combo that came with a stack of their thin pancakes. home fries also pictured.
    Ashley L.

    Visiting from out of town and one of my favorite spots to go is the pancake house. This time around The food was okay, but the sausage and potatoes I ordered did arrive to the table cold. The serving size of the home fries is a little disappointing for the price of over $4 for a literal toddler sized handful of potatoes and onions. The waitress did bring a fresh serving of potatoes. they were pretty good. Very friendly staff, clean dining area.

    Fresh Blueberry crepes - delicious!
    Laura R.

    Great breakfast for a party of 8 during the week. We had to wait only a few minutes for the team to put some tables together before we were seated. The restaurant is easy to find and has parking on the side. If you are facing the building, parking is on the right side of the building. The restaurant is accessible though could be tight maneuvering through all of the tables & chairs on a busy day. Male/Female-specific bathrooms are also accessible and located down the back hallway. Our server took great care of us and got our drinks and food orders in quickly. She was efficient and checked on us for beverage refills regularly. A highlight of the meal was my nephew's blueberry crepes - he loved them - and the side of bacon was thick and well-prepared. My spinach and feta omelette was one of the best I've had, and I appreciate that the side of pancakes were NOT enormous. They were 5-6 inches in diameter - perfect size to go with an omelette so I was not overstuffed afterwards. We would definitely return when in the area!

    What a great breakfast spot in Williamsville, NY. I'm so glad we tried this place, very busy restaurant, hostess are friendly, the waitstaff go above and beyond. Monique is amazing!!! I ordered pigs in a blanket, one guest ordered French toast, and another the buttermilk pancakes. They were delicious, covered in a bit too much powdered sugar for me. The next day we went had Monique again, what a doll! Crepes with strawberries and cream, French toast, eggs with turkey sausage, huge cheese omelet. Absolutely amazing! Coffee is so good and never empty coffee mugs...Bright and cheery decor, tables comfortable, dining room can be loud. We will definitely be back when in Williamsville!

    Gingerbread Pancakes
    Isabella R.

    Stopped in on a snowy afternoon and we almost had the whole restaurant to ourselves! Decided on the special Gingerbread pancakes and they were absolutely delicious! You can tell they make everything from scratch! Will definitely be back in to try more pancakes soon!

    7.85 bacon
    Nathan H.

    We have been here many times the only thing that really changes are the prices. They seem to go up quite dramatically. $7.85 for 4 pieces of bacon seems a bit overpriced. Strawberry crepes were amazing as always. Out server Stacey I was incredible she stopped over many times to check on us. The food and service is always top notch just very pricey. Wait was about 20 minutes to be seated on a weekend.

My friend ordered the falafel burger and Greek potatoes and he said they were great. But don't be like my friend; the potatoes are very soft and there's a crazy amount of butter in their bowl and not once, but twice, he picked one up with his fork and it broke on his lap, getting butter everywhere! So make sure you eat them right over the bowl before you ruin your pants and shirt haha I ordered the applewood smoked bacon burger. You get your choice of cheese and I think they had a good five options. I ordered it medium but I will say it was more close to well-done. It didn't bother me and also it was still very very juicy so no biggie. It was well-flavored and stacked with bacon and I nice siracha mayo, as well as the usual tomato, onion, and lettuce. These handhelds come with standard ripple potato chips but you can have other options for an up charge (fries, potatoes, soup, salad...) Seating is indoor and outdoor. I enjoyed sitting outside.

The hostess was a class act, server was great and checked in regularly. The food is good, everything is priced about what I expected except the coffee. They only offer French Pressed coffee for $10 (I was able to have 2.25 cups of coffee). I paid $15 for coffee last time I went so that my friend could have one cup and I had three. Lol I do like the creamer, it was creamy thick, complimented the coffee well. I just couldn't believe I paid that for coffee. Normally, I would only drink 2 cups but drank 3 because I couldn't let it go to waste. Don't judge me, this was for brunch at 11am. Lol I recommend sharing plates. Not because the portion sizes are large or anything but just because everything tastes great, why not sample as much as possible. My friends and I tried a pizza, the AMAZING Mac and Cheese, and another time, I tried the cinnamon roll and eggplant sandwich. The bread was amazing, flavor was good but needed more eggplant. It felt like I was eating more bread than anything hearty inside it. Probably wouldn't order that again next time but it was still good. Their seasoned fries are also very good. The frosting on the cinnamon roll made this treat worth getting, it was a little hard/dry on the outside but I imagine that was just a mistake for that day as maybe it could have came to the table sooner. It was still reallyyyy delicious. I'll be returning again to try some other items but definitely come and bring a date. This is a nice spot for brunch, lunch and dinner, with adult family, friends or a date.

From the moment you walk in the door you hear the faint sound of music and the ambiance is welcoming. I was quite impressed with the size of this place, there is plenty of room for dining inside and seating for one person or a little group. The menu is pretty straight forward and there is a display case with wonderful cakes and other treats. The drink menu is pretty simple and there appears to be a featured item on display. We placed our orders and was given a timer to await our order preparation. We grabbed a corner seat with a couch like setting and waited patiently. Drink orders consisted of Cold Pistachio Latte , iced Adeni and a brown sugar oatmilk drink on special. We decided on a pastry also. So we ordered a Cardamom knot, Red Velvet Cake and Coconut Cake. It probably took about 10 mins from being seated before we were notified. We attempted to get up to go and pick it up, but the young lady delivered our items on a tray. The drinks were absolutely delicious! The flavors were a burst in your mouth. The Pistachio Latte was phenomenal. The Brown Butter was great, but a bit on the strong side and the Adeni was delicious, the cardamom really stood out in that drink. On to the cakes ...all were delicious.. The coconut was a little dense but delicious. There were 2 layers The cardamom knot was delicious. They usually heat them and that enhances the flavor. The red velvet was wonderful, I wondered about the type of frosting. It reminded me of a whipped cream, which I'm not a fan of but the cake was delicious. This was an awesome experience. Some additional features. The restrooms were very clean and well stocked. There is a corner area where they have games to allow people to enjoy. I watched some friends play a came of chess. Free water is available on the counter The atmosphere was very cozy and inviting.
